ONE
BATTLE AT A TIME

“Pharaoh’s
dream” has too often been my waking experience. My days of sloth have
ruinously destroyed all that I had achieved in times of zealous industry; my
seasons of coldness have frozen all the genial glow of my periods of fervency
and enthusiasm; and my fits of worldliness have thrown me back from my advances
in the divine life. I have need to be aware of lean prayers and lean praises,
lean duties and lean experiences, for these will eat up the fat of my comfort
and peace. If I neglect prayer for ever so short a time, I lose all the
spirituality to which I had attained if I draw no fresh supplies from heaven,
the old corn in my granary is soon consumed by famine which rages in my soul.
When the caterpillars of indifference, the canker worms of worldliness the
palmerworms of self indifference, lay my heart completely desolate and make my
soul languish, all of my former fruitfulness and growth in grace avails
me nothing whatever. How anxious I should be to have to have no leaned flesh
days. No ill –favored hours! If every day I journeyed toward the goals of my
desires.

3/21/17 Today Faithe is having eye surgery and I am battling Carpal Tunnel. Growing older is not for wimps. So I am sitting in the waiting room for two hours trying to be productive. “Productive” now

there is a word to contemplate. its primary consideration is how our calling and purpose match up to our efforts. If we follow one of the models taught by Jesus, we should go fishing. “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” So let’s take a look at the fisherman’s technique and notice how Jesus’ metaphor applies to fishing for men. It seems to me the primary technique of a good fisherman is to use a good “lure.”

A lure is designed to attract fish. Just like the fisherman’s lure, some things work and some things do not. And so it is with what we might do to attract by our witness. Let’s take a look at a few principles and methods.

Communication

70% of our communication comes from beyond our words. The evolution of our ability to communicate is a fascinating study. From smoke signals to cell phones technology continues to explode, yet we continue to struggle to say what we really feel.

3.Mannerisms

4.Graphics (drawings)

5.The heavens spoke firsi

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."
